[stefaniedawe]

love these bikes but im def. a honda girl.... gotta say there up there with the ktms.

[brunotorres12345]

ktm 505 sx the best atv ever created, thanks KTM for giving us the best

[E46MRider]

KTM-Kant Touch Me..Too sick!!!

[KarlNagel401]

KTM .. nuff said.

[TerranMarineCore]

ktm yamaha and can am are the future of this sport as of now. suzuki is slipping behind

[ATVonDemand]

If you watch our 2010 ATV On Demand 450cc Motocross Shootout at our site you may find that the Suzuki inst really behind at all.

[rodly47]

whats the best?? ktm 505 SX or 450 SX for tracK??

[KarlNagel401]

@rodly47 usuallly the biggest you can go for racing is a 450

[TuTuDeSiGn]

@rodly47 all same. 505sx more hp and torq

[hemstock111]

i wanna hear teh kfx 450r against the ktm

[FloridaFFEMT]

Not saying it's a bad bike, but how the hell can a straight axle bike with the chain/sprocket and rear disc brakes, have 10.43 inches of ground clearance? Are they only counting part of the undercarriage or the entire thing? Methinks they're cheating.

Peace

[canamrider24]

@FloridaFFEMT they measure the highest point of clearence, under the chain and axle is probly closer to 5 or 6 inches of clearance

[FloridaFFEMT]

@canamrider24 Yeah, it just seems clearance should be like any vehicle and be the "minimum" clearance (at the lowest point) and not the max if you measure "here". heh But, thx canamrider for the input.

Peace

[canamrider24]

@FloridaFFEMT i couldnt agree with u more but thats just the way they do it, makes it sound better i guess lol

[george2856100]

i think KTM is the best ATV and motorcycle manufacter.......

[bassoundlikethunda]

broad powerband is right! these engines rock. started on honda, went to yamaha, and now im stuck on ktm. these bikes are sweet...

[RnRsYamaha]

YFZ450R its better!!!

[E46MRider]

How is it better? It weighs 40lbs more than the KTM 450/505sx,has primitive fuel injection,Does not handle as well,and does not have anything worth keeping stock..You gotta dump a shitload of money to come close to the KTM..and at the end of the day you have a Japanese bike that everyone and their grandma have..nothing special..KTM's German engineering can't be touched not to mention the exclusivity!

[Nizm0350z]

exactly. I'm a yamaha fan, but im in the market for a new quad and i'll mostly likely pick up the KTM

[ingonumb]

Im sorry but it´s not german hehe :) it´s austrian quality .... be sure about what you say....

[rc88rzrs]

@E46MRider it is austrian you fucking retard research before you write something

[E46MRider]

Austria or Germany same shit in different buckets..who the fuck cares I know its made in Austria calm down..You must ride a YAMAHA LMAO

[rc88rzrs]

actually i ride a ktm 525xc

[SIGsogger]

ktm is an austrian company u fuckin idiot. learn the shit u think u no, oh and ktm's dont have feul injection, which is there only DOWN side,, i totally agree with ya but still,, learn wut ur talkin about,,

[E46MRider]

No shit numbnutz,they speak German in Austria and half the fukin parts on the quad have Made In Germany stamped on them.I have the quad sitting in my garage and there IS NO DOWNSIDE to not having fuel injection,besides less weight less electronics to go wrong and a better top end pull.LMFAO GTFOH

[SIGsogger]

u think ur tuff? by callin me "numbnutz" uv just proved ur a fuckin queer, go suck sum german snitzel cock, post a vid of ur ktm, cause rite about now i dont beleive any of the shit fallin out yur mouth, and ur a fuckin prick ass bitch if u think theres no downside to carbs, just like i said, learn wut the fuck ur talkin bout..

[Manie714]

@RnRsYamaha haha you wish!

[colemanktm]

whats the diffrence between the wp shocks and the ohlins shocks?

[E46MRider]

They are developed for different riding conditions..WP's are set up for track riding with long travel a-arms.Ohlins is set up for cross country and woods racing with the narrow a-arm setup.

[colemanktm]

i dont think that polaris should be able to put ktm motors in their quads cuz now whats so special about polaris i mean poeple say polaris is better than ktm but they have to remember whos motor is in their bike thats why i have zero respect for polaris so i went and bought a new ktm 450xc and i love it!

[jmay27yfz450]

at the end it says the motor is a SOHC its actually a DOHC (dual overhead cam)

[HoleshotMX12]

aaron meyer is sickkk

[XxsecretaznmanxX]

how much are these ATV's again?

[DonutRvBdefender]

they can range from where u live to like 10 000 to 13 000

[1973slimshady1973]

wow i want this bike it blows my 07 400ex out the water

[CrazyBritches]

Put the same rider on all the best quads and the KTM will come out on top! And I dont care about a modified quad anybody can do that! I am talking about off the showroom floor.

[CrazyBritches]

Dont hate on the quad it is the best out there!!! Go ahead and and name one that is equal!! Better do your research! No stupid remarks please.

[TerranMarineCore]

yea the tape on the seat is bad im getting a new one but those rims are beadlock hypers at like 200$ a peice. there the most expensive rims you can buy so idk wtf ur talkin about

[iles9]

they arnt the most expensive you can buy. maby that u can buy cause ur broke.

[TerranMarineCore]

actually they are there hiper tech dual beadlock carbon fiber rims at 200 a peice. thts 200x4 u do the rest..

[quadracer786]

first time ive ever heard someone call dual hiper beadlocks shitty lol dumbass

[iles9]

no you wouldnt

[Markitos203]

$11,499... no thanks.. i'll demolish that bike on an 09 yfz and the same budget.

[Bodyguard3164]

Don't think so lololol

This weekend at an MX race, an almost stock 505SX finished 2nd ahead of highly modded 20K LTR's and YFZ's hahahahaha

[quadracer786]

so that has nothing to do with the quad, its all on the rider. any pro out there would kick the 505s ass on a stock trx, yfz, or ltr, BUT you also cant compare the 505 to 450s engine size difference, i know for a fact my big bore 498 ltr will kick the shit out of a 505

[Bodyguard3164]

You didn't understand what i said lol

The rider on the 505SX (477cc) was at the same level of the rider in the other quads (had big bores 475cc and more...) and even then he managed to take 2nd place. The conclusion is, An 11500 quad can keep up with highly modded quads (20K+) considering the riders had similar experience. KTM made their point, go figure.

[xyzwwwwwwww]

no jap crap!

[aandrew450r]

what about honda!??

[chaburator]

Looks nice but kinda pricey. i dont think people will buy these if they ride in the dunes

[austteanoR]

ktm's will make you a bamf

[conrail192]

I ride dirt bikes, and I even think the new KTm quads are BA!!!

[mudman321]

that was the worst landing ever at 3:20

[Dylonthevillon]

duh there were testing the suspension

[wowokowal]

you're right but it shows how these insane shocks works

[huron122]

i love how u guys r mostly testin on the small track at red bud...lol

[ATVonDemand]

KTM's intro was held at Red Bud the same weekend as the GNC national. We raced the machine on the big track which didn't leave a lot of time to collect video on the big track. So what do you love about us testing on the small track?

[huron122]

i was being sarcastic...lol

i know what weekend it was, i was there

[ATVonDemand]

I assumed that. I think it worked out okay considering we had to shoot mostly on the small track.

[huron122]

yeah, not gonna lie, the small track is kinda fun:P lol

but the bike looked real strong...if u guys had to choose out of all the 450's of 08 or 09, which would u choose cause i just got my ltr and i love it. oh and when r u guys gonna be up at red bud again???

[FinsterFlummoxing]

What's with those torx screws?

[ATVonDemand]

The KTM is the most race ready, the Yamaha YFZ450R is great and we have just begun to explore its potentials for performance and reliability, The DS450X MX is race ready for under $10.000 but has the most difficult motor in its class to ride. The LTR is proven, we know what it takes to make it run and what might break. For a conservative person who doesn't like purchasing first year machines the LTR is an obvious choice and still totally capable of winning in any class.

[andrewisyou]

i think they should of made them kick start in order for them to be truely race ready. no one wants a electric start for racing

[mulisha0351]

impressive and im a KTM250f rider.

[Get2TheDeLorean]

Being the most expensive of any 450 wouldn't we all be surprised if it wasn't the most race ready? Shit, throw a $40 cherry bomb on an ltr450 and it'll still be cheaper and smoke the ktm.

[Bodyguard3164]

Don't think so mate.

The LTR is nice but it needs, head work, full pipe and cherry to keep up with the 525XC. Now we're talking about the SX which is powerfull and faster revving than the XC so you can see...

Ride an LTR and then test the 505SX and you'll understand ;)

[paul13083]

dude the 525 could easily smoke the rapator 660 by fare

[willynilly69]

agreed.
